POP me ~-NOTICE I find it neccessary, owing to the fact that I have mueh more work than one Doctor ever was intended to do, to ask those of the Municipality who wish to patronize me to bear with me in observing some regular office hours. Starting after the New Year, I will be in my office every afternoon from 1.30 to 5.30 except Wednesdays, when the only office hours will be from 10.30 a.m. until 12.00 noon, and each 'even- ing from 7.00 to 830 and until 10.00 »m. on Saturdays. This will leave the mornings for doing Surgery and making calls. Kindly do not ask me to work on Sunday unless it is a bona fide emer- gency.
